Galatians 5:16-23 teaches that at any moment we are either walking by the Holy Spirit or according to the sin nature. Walking by the Spirit, enjoying fellowship with God, walking in the light are virtually synonymous. During these times, the Holy Spirit is working in us to illuminate our minds to the truth of Scripture and to challenge us to apply what we learn. But when we sin, we begin to live based on the sin nature. Our works do not count for eternity. The only way to recover is to confess (admit, acknowledge) our sin to God the Father and we are instantly forgiven, cleansed, and recover our spiritual walk (1 John 1:9). Please make sure you are walking by the Spirit before you begin your Bible study, so it will be spiritually profitable.

How do you think you would have reacted if you had been one of the witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus Christ after His death on the Cross? Listen to this lesson to learn about the many witnesses who saw Jesus alive. See that it only takes two or three witnesses to confirm the truth of a matter. Hear the only two options for an explanation of the empty tomb. When witnessing to unbelievers remember there is ironclad proof that Jesus rose from the dead and that gives us confidence for our own resurrection someday.

This lesson also references Mark 15:42-16:14; Luke 23:50-24:43; John 19:38-20:29.
